So it looks like our little group is going to now fall apart! :'c(
Why should that stop y'all from still going on with the quilt group?

Just because someone gets laid off does not always mean it will affect a group that has formed from working with that person.you can learn a great deal too from here and there are also videos on youtube about quilting.

google Kentucky quilt guilds -- there is a long list with descriptions of where and what they do. That's how I found my WA group
Good luck. Some of them look so intrigueing that I'd like to be there

You didn't say that the lady who started it was actually leaving the quilting group, just that she is getting laid off. This may be something that she will need to help keep her connectiveness and sanity once she is laid off.
Maybe you could meet at different places or if necessary less often, but I wouldn't write it off yet until she actually says she can't continue.
Also maybe you could drum up one or two other ladies who might enjoy sewing and fellowshipping together. I whish I had a group to join too, but I'm trying to do it on my own with the help of the quilting board archives. I wish you Good luck

The other 2 ladies who were coming were friends of the lady who got laid off, and they more than likely won't come if she isn't a part of it. That leaves just 2 of us struggling to keep going, when both of us are about as inexperienced as they come. The group was originally started as a part of the Employee Wellness Program as a stress-reducer method.
